Modeling Quasicrystal Growth

  • Chapter
Quasicrystals

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 55))

Summary

Understanding the growth of quasicrystals poses a challenging problem, not the least because the quasiperiodic order present in idealized mathematical models of quasicrystals prohibits simple local growth algorithms. This can only be circumvented by allowing for some degree of disorder, which of course is always present in real quasicrystalline samples. In this review, we give an overview of the present state of theoretical research, addressing the problems, the different approaches and the results obtained so far.
